KVM/x86: Remove superfluous SMP function call

Since the following commit:

  1cf4f629d9d2 ("cpu/hotplug: Move online calls to hotplugged cpu")

... the CPU_ONLINE and CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are always run on the hot
plugged CPU, and as of commit:

  3b9d6da67e11 ("cpu/hotplug: Fix rollback during error-out in __cpu_disable()")

the CPU_DOWN_FAILED notifier also runs on the hot plugged CPU.  This patch
converts the SMP functional calls into direct calls.

smp_function_call_single() executes the function with interrupts
disabled. This calling convention is not preserved because there
is no reason to do so.
